Hey guys, we have a 6.4 F-550 at work which has unfortunately been a pain. It has spent several hours in the shop so far. Either way, it has 59k miles on it now, and the starter always engages fine, but somehow the flexplate has a bad spot on it? If it lands on that spot when you turn it off,it wont start until you turn the engine over a little.
Is this a common issue on these trucks? I dont understand how this could happen since the starter spins over good. If the starter gear wasnt throwing out right I would think you'd notice it a lot, but it only really does it when it lands on one certain place. They wont cover it under warranty, so looks like im pulling the transmission soon :doh:
Whats the best way to get to the torque converter bolts on the Fords? Is there a plate you can remove like there is on the dodges? Thanks
